Turkey Bans Twitter
I'm guessing it will take another week before CNN catches on to actual news since it doesn't involve the plane.

So yeah, fascism in Turkey... pretty cool.

Guess who I'll be voting for next May?
In truth I'm still undecided, but if they bring in allowances for whippets and flat caps, they'll have my vote. I don't feel patronised at all. What other measures aimed at the working classes would make you vote Tory?

Personality types (Myers-Briggs)
All you diplomats I'm sure must be interested in how people in the real world think. I ran across this a few months ago and it's really cool to look up comparisons between types and read about certain types. At first I was scared of something along the lines of a horoscope but I was very pleasantly surprised.

Since I Feel Bad Telling People to Shut the Fuck Up
Here's a thread. If you're like me and have that Bible shit muted because you don't give a damn what "god" thinks, it'll be the only one on your forum bar because they won't shut up in there.

But I'm not telling them to, I'm just making another thread.

Referendum in Crimea
Well, as predicted, the result of the Crimean referendum went strongly in favour of the option of leaving Ukraine and applying to become part of Russia. The US, EU and others have denounced the poll as illegal, but it appears that the majority of people living in Crimea genuinely want to join Russia. So, what now?

No, my stock are up today. Obama is a piece of shit pussy who is going to talk a lot of meaningless shit, and all the moronic libtards are going to eat it up and pretend that they think Obama reallllllly cares and that those big bad guys are reallllllly goign to care. Everyone else knows that Putin took over the Crimea, and nobody is goign to do shit about it or Putin will shut off fuel to western Europe, so Europe - which is a bunch of pussies that can't wipe their asses without the might of the US military ()now gutted) to back them up - is going to whine and compalin (becaus the script tells them to) and then do shit, because they really don't give a fuck if they buy oil from the ukraine or Putin...and really, that's all this is about. As long as (now) Putin's oil flows, everythign is OK.

So shut the fuck up. Nobody cares about the Crimea.

I feel the entirety of Europe is populated by a bunch of fucking pussies that have been sucking of the American tit for 60 years, all the while bad-mouthing us most of the time.

Fuck Europe. Fuck those cowardly assholes. Build your own fucking armies, and if you have a fucking bully on your block, go fucking deal with him.

Our fucking President doesn't know how to deal with bullies. Here's what you do to a bully: You bloody his fucking nose on the playground in front of *everybody*...and when the whole world sees him cry, his days of bullying dwindle quickly. But no....we live in pussiefied USA, where we *talk* to bullies and pretend if we just say prtty nice words to them they will stop. Fuck that nonsenical pussieifed bullshit.

Yeah...Hillary "smelly cunt" Clinton "reset" relations with Putin...if we just talk nice to teh nice KGB man, he'll see reason. Nawwww....the fucking bully saw that we were pussies, and knew that Europe is full of pussies. And the Ukraine, stupid assholes that they are, thought the west would protect them (hence they let the US help disarm them 6-7 years ago...) and now Ukraine had his lunch money stolen by the biggest, most well known bully - and too fucking bad.

But last week was one of the worst weeks for the market this year, all on Ukraine news. Energy markets are definitely going to be affected by this, and everyone is affected by the energy markets. One way or another, your wallet is going to feel some impact from this krellin.

But....I can't help but agree with you on your rant about Europeans. Though you might want to exclude the French from that.

Actually, krellin, CNN released an official apology last night. Here's an excerpt, from CNN chief Jeff Zucker:

"On Sunday, we apparently had a sort of mishap in the production center of our studio, causing us to cut away from our round-the-clock coverage of the missing Flight 370, instead broadcasting a story about the ongoing conflict in Crimea. Fortunately, we were able to correct the problem after just a few short minutes. We apologize for the inconvenience and assure our viewers that we won't have any further issues and our technical team has corrected all malfunctioning equipment."

Thucy - no, all you bullshit artists that pretend to care about shit are the patehtic ones. Take up fucking arms, get on a plane and go to Crimea if you are all so fucking worked up over this shit, you god damned hypocrite. You live your sheltered safe little life spewing your extremist libtard I-love-everyone bullshit (when in fact you are one of the most bigotted, hateful people around) and yet in reality, you wouldn't put your life on the line for a second to protect anyone. and no, your time-limited, safe-as-can-be african adventure was just rich-boy-sees-the-world bullshit, and is meaningless in teh end OR YOU WOULD STILL BE THERE.

Oh...they'll tell you how terrible you are if you don't agree with everything they say...but they'll never, ever fight for their beliefs. Parasites -- using the freedom granted them by real men so they can belittle others. Worthless dregs of humanity that wouldn't last a fucking day is civilization fell apart and they had to fend for themselves. But I'd enjoy feasting on their flesh raw...

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but Nate Silver posted an interesting look at the referendum. He suggests that the results aren't that trustworthy for a few reason:

-The question wasn't fairly worded and didn't present an option for the status quo
-Past polling results haven't shown anywhere near to this level of support
-Local sources are suggesting that intimidation and propoganda was rampant

Knowing that this was going to be closely scrutinized referendum, it's very damning that Russia didn't take the necessary precautions to prepare for a fair vote and provide the transparency the rest of world wanted.

Putin has been rattlig his saber for YEARS!!! Go ask the Georgians.

If the Ukrain was too fucking stupid to defend themselves, then who cares is some referendum is honest or bullshit. Deed's done. All your bitching and critical analysis of fraudulant elections is bullshit.

You idiots are talking about a bullshit faux-vote? God damn...Putin has yet to admit that the troops are his, you retards!

You thumb twiddling and nervous sweat is cute...how you idiots pretend to care while history repeats itself and a cowardly, weak-ass Europe sits by and watches.

Whether or not the referendum's results are to be trusted or not, I'm betting that the Ukrainian government won't recognize it. Or maybe they'll call it civil war, but I'd doubt that... All I'm saying is that the Crimean incident is far from over.
krellin - just remember that up until about a month and a half ago Ukraine was ruled by an ally of Russia. Its as if the US up and decided to invade Canada and you criticize the Canadians for not preparing for this.

Ukraine hasn't been part of the Soviet Union since, gee, the Soviet Union collapsed in on itself... Russia is as independent as Ukraine. To say that somehow because they were part of a now defunct union, Ukraine doesn't get to rule itself is utter bullshit.
